REMARKS

Ms. Carol Browner, Administrator, EPA, extended her appreciation to representatives of EPA and members of the NEJAC who have been working on addressing issues related to environmental justice at the agency. She stated that addressing environmental justice is not an easy task and one that is not becoming easier to address as new evidence is identified that minority and low-income communities do bear a disproportionate “brunt of [the impacts of] our modern technological society.” She emphasized the need for

Arlington, Virginia, November 30 through December 2, 1999 ES-1 Executive Summary National Environmental Justice Advisory Council the members of the NEJAC to stay focused on the topic of this meeting. Ms. Browner expressed her belief that when decision-makers truly engage a local community, up front and in an informed and meaningful manner, the quality of the decision that the agency or other regulatory entity is able to make is dramatically improved compared to a decision that is made without the engagement of the community. She continued by saying that the challenge that lays before EPA is how to involve a local community in an effective, open, honest, and informed manner.

Ms. Browner concluded her remarks by stating that the agency needs to take a “real look” at the regulatory decisions made as well as the guidance and framework that EPA issues to state and local governments to ensure that principles related to environmental justice are being integrated into the decision-making process for issuing permits.

Mr. Steven Herman, Assistant Administrator, EPA Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), expressed the agency’s continuous appreciation to the members of the NEJAC for their invaluable assistance in providing EPA advice and counsel on issues related to environmental justice. Mr. Herman then noted the change in format for this and future meetings of the NEJAC. He explained that each NEJAC meeting now will focus on a single issue and its relationship to environmental justice. Announcing that this meeting of the NEJAC would focus on permitting, Mr. Herman stated that through panel discussions, members of the NEJAC, EPA, and other meeting participants will examine aspects of permitting related to various authorities and opportunities where the agency can ensure that environmental justice is integrated into the decision-making process for issuing permits. Mr. Herman concluded his remarks by noting that numerous assistant administrators and other senior-level managers of EPA will be in attendance at this meeting.

Mr. Barry Hill, Director, EPA OEJ, began his remarks by stating that environmental justice is “something that belongs to everyone” in that every American citizen is entitled to clean air, water, and land based on the United States’ protective environmental laws. He continued by defining environmental justice, and explaining that the concept:

� Acknowledges that environmental justice is a basic right of all Americans to live and work in environmentally protected surroundings.

� Recognizes that environmental justice is not only an environmental issue, but a public health issue.

� Recognizes that environmental justice is forward-looking and goal-oriented because the concept seeks to include affected communities in the decision-making processes.

� Indicates that environmental justice is inclusive.

Mr. Hill then stated that based on these premises the definition of environmental justice is compatible with the mission of EPA to protect human health and to safeguard the environment.

Continuing his remarks, Mr. Hill pointed out that environmental justice is at a critical stage from the point of view of environmental law and public policy. He then proceeded to provide historical examples of environmental justice, starting with the issuance in 1987 of a report by the United Church of Christ on race and environmental contamination to present day legal cases to highlight the various stages of environmental justice as a legal concept.

Mr. Hill concluded his remarks by stating that for this meeting OEJ has asked the NEJAC to provide advice and recommendations on how best to integrate environmental justice into the decision-making process related to permitting so that the concept can be applied as measurable, rationalized, and routine standards of evaluation.

Ms. Samantha Fairchild, Director, Office of Enforcement, Compliance, and Environmental Justice, EPA Region 3, emphasized that environmental justice continues to be a major area of concern at EPA Region

ES-2 Arlington, Virginia, November 30 through December 2, 1999 National Environmental Justice Advisory Council Executive Summary

3 and that the regional office has taken steps to improve communication among all affected stakeholders. For example, she explained that EPA Region 3 is developing partnerships with state environmental agencies in the five-state region to provide assistance during the decision-making process related to permits. This effort includes establishing consistent meetings with states to discuss potential environmental justice issues before those issues become legal problems, she said. Ms. Fairchild also noted that EPA Region 3 has participated in Pennsylvania’s Environmental Equity Work Group to define and identify criteria for environmental justice communities.

Continuing her remarks, Ms. Fairchild also noted that the regional office has been involved in several studies to investigate public health issues in environmental justice areas with heavy industry as well as conducted a study in a southwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area that is heavily concentrated with auto body and paint shops. She explained that the information collected from these studies will assist the state of Pennsylvania and Region 3 meet the needs of its citizens. Ms. Fairchild concluded her remarks by stating that the NEJAC is a valuable tool to grapple with the many complex problems facing communities related to environmental justice.

Mr. Bradley Campbell, White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), reported on the second environmental justice listening session held in New York, New York in March 1999 that continued to bring together various federal agencies and community members to discuss issues related to environmental justice. Mr. Campbell explained that the purpose of the listening sessions was to ensure the environmental justice principles that have been integrated into EPA’s policies and programs also are being implemented in other federal agencies actions that affect local communities. As a result of the listening session, he noted, several federal agencies, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), agreed to reopen public comment periods to review permits related to transportation decisions for New York City. In addition, the Healthcare Financing Administration agreed to help local New York communities to gain better access to medical care for asthma related health problems.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS

The NEJAC hosted public comment periods on November 30 and December 1, 1999. More than 30 people participated in the two public comment periods. Significant concerns expressed during the public comment periods included:

� Several commenters continued to express concern about the “unfair process” under which permits are issued by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ).

� Many commenters expressed concern about the “unrealistic” time frame by which to review and provide comments on proposed permits during the decision-making process. Many commenters recommended that EPA revise the time line related to issuing a permit to provide for earlier notification of a proposed permit, as well as provide documents in easier to understand language.

� Several commenters expressed concern about the lack of options available for recourse once a permit has been issued and a facility has begun operations.

� Several commenters recommended that the NEJAC address environmental justice issues at federal facilities.

PANELS ON PERMITTING AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

The NEJAC, in its continuing efforts to provide independent advice to the EPA Administrator on areas related to environmental justice, focused its fourteenth meeting on a specific policy issue -- permitting and environmental justice. On Tuesday, November 30, 1999, the members of the NEJAC listened to a series of panels comprised of various stakeholders that were designed to provide insight into the issues and concerns raised with respect to environmental justice in the permitting process.

Mr. Richard Lazarus, Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center and former member of the Enforcement Subcommittee of the NEJAC, provided background information on the historical development of integrating concerns related to environmental justice into the permitting process. Mr. Lazarus explained that “environmental justice permitting” refers to the consideration of concerns related to environmental justice in the context of an environmental permitting authority’s decision to grant, deny, or condition a permit at a facility, the operation of which has adverse or potentially adverse environmental effects on the community. Ms. Zulene Mayfield, Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living, presented an overview on the challenges her community has faced related to state environmental agencies and the permitting process. Ms. Mayfield emphasized the necessity for local and state agencies to allow local affected communities to participate earlier and more often in the decision-making process. Mr. Carlos Porras, Communities for a Better Environment, provided information on several communities near Los Angeles, California facing environmental justice issues related to air quality and permitting. Mr. Porras explained that there are several challenges EPA needs to address related to permitting that included collecting more reliable data.

The panel presentations included (Exhibit ES-2 provides the names of the panelists):

� Facilitated Dialogue — Mr. Kojo Nnamdi of National Public Radio, facilitated a dialogue among representatives of communities; industry; tribes; and state, local, and federal governments to identify issues and concerns related to environmental justice and permitting. (Exhibit ES-3 shows Mr. Nnamdi facilitating.) The primary issue identified by all stakeholder groups was that the public should become involved in the permitting process as early and as often as possible. Several members of the panel expressed concern that members of the public believe that public outreach related to permitting is superficial, citing the fact that although a regulation may take two years to develop, the public only receives 30 days in ES-3: Mr. Kojo Nnamdi facilitating a dialogue session which to review and provide comment. on issues related to environmental justice and the permitting process. � EPA Panel — Senior managers from EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), Office of Water (OW), and Region 3 provided information on their program’s efforts to incorporate environmental justice into the permitting processes. Each of the headquarter program offices announced to the members of the NEJAC various commitments to increase public involvement and revise the permitting processes to integrate environmental justice into them.

Arlington, Virginia, November 30 through December 2, 1999 ES-5 Executive Summary National Environmental Justice Advisory Council

� Panel 1: Addressing Real Life Dilemmas of Environmental Justice in Permitting: How Do We Respond to the Legacy of Land Use Impacts? — Representatives from academia, industry, community, and local government discussed the dilemmas for the permitting process related to the historical development of land use and zoning requirements. Several members of the panel recommended that EPA involve stakeholders of local government earlier in the development of guidance and policy to help prepare local governments to implement new regulations.

� Panel 2: The Current State of Environmental Justice and Permitting: What Are Its Limitations? — This multi stakeholder panel identified areas of concern and gaps related to integrating environmental justice into the permitting process. A primary concern expressed by several members of the panel focused on the need for local, state, and federal government agencies to diversify their staff to better understand the needs and concerns of their constituents.

� Panel 3: Opportunities for Improvement: What Factors Should EPA Consider to Help Ensure Environmental Justice in Permitting? — Members of the multi stakeholder panel provided recommendations to EPA on how to improve efforts to integrate concerns related to environmental justice into the permitting process. Several key recommendations included:

� Create an air emissions credits trading review board to evaluate the disparate effects the trading of air emissions credits may have on an affected community.

� Provide additional resources to improve data from geographical information systems to more accurately identify demographics and other cultural considerations.

COMMON THEMES

During the meetings of the Executive Council and its subcommittees, the members of the NEJAC discussed a wide range of issues related to environmental justice. Specific concerns of and commitments made by the NEJAC include:

� Continued concern about the “crisis” environmental contamination conditions under which certain residents of Louisiana live.

� Concern about the lack of public participation in the decision-making process related to issuing permits.

� Recommendation that EPA develop a process by which the agency can step in to “fill the regulatory gap” left when EPA is not the primary authority.

Members of the NEJAC recommended that the EPA Administrator assume an active role in discussions with LDEQ about the environmental contamination and the issuance of permits in that state. In addition, the Executive Council also approved a resolution that requested that the EPA Administrator recommend that the Inspector General of EPA conduct an audit of the LDEQ to ensure that the state agency is in compliance with applicable environmental laws.

Members of the NEJAC, as well as members of the various panels, agreed that local communities need to be included often and as early as possible in the decision-making process related to issuing permits. The Executive Council agreed to create a special work group to develop a report to provide advice on how EPA can integrate concerns related to environmental justice into the permitting process in a manner that would be beneficial to all stakeholders. Ms. Vernice Miller-Travis, Partnership for Sustainable Brownfields Redevelopment and chair of the Waste and Facility Siting Subcommittee of the NEJAC, agreed to chair the work group.

Several members of the NEJAC expressed concern about several cases, such as waste transfer stations, in which a “regulatory gap” is created because EPA is not the primary authority and the local or state agency

ES-6 Arlington, Virginia, November 30 through December 2, 1999 National Environmental Justice Advisory Council Executive Summary is not responding to concerns of its constituents. The members recommended that EPA develop a process by which the agency can step in to “fill” such a gap.

WHEREAS, the use of a fuel with a sulfur content of 1.5% as a control strategy to minimize the impact of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) in the non attainment area in Cata-Guaynabo has failed to obtain attainment in the area

A-1 WHEREAS, PREPA has no pollution control in its stacks

WHEREAS, a residual oil with 1.5% of sulfur content is considered a dirty fuel

WHEREAS, the particulate emission limitation (mass emission) of .3lbs/lbs/MBU is less restrictive than the federal standard of 0.1 lbs/MBTU

WHEREAS, the state mass emission standard of 0.3 lbs/MBTU has never been proven by the state to be equivalent to 20% opacity,

WHEREAS, the PR state mass emission limitation of .3lbs/MBTU has been identified by EQB officials as a “typographical error’

WHEREAS, the state emission standard cannot be less restrictive than the federal particulate standards,

WHEREAS, PREPA has been identified as egregious opacity violator while firing 1.5% sulfur fuels since 1993,

WHEREAS, the use of a fuel with 1.5% sulfur content has failed to sustain a clean emission in PREPA’s stacks,

WHEREAS, relying in opacity as the only federally emission standard to protect the health of the people from excessive sulfur dioxide emissions from a dirty fuel results in an unequal protection of law to residents,

WHEREAS, PREPA has been convicted of criminal environmental actions in a federal Court as is under certain strict probation terms,

WHEREAS, eliminating the mass emission limitation in a non attainment area for particulates, in the Cataño-Guaynabo area, contravenes the Clean Air Act

WHEREAS, PREPA is the second Public Utility with the highest revenues in the USA,

WHEREAS, PREPA has a monopoly in energy sales, even in the presence of other cogenerators

WHEREAS, PREPA is included by EPA as one of the 100 dirtiest power plants in terms of sulfur dioxide and particulate emissions,

WHEREAS, the installment of appropriate enforceable limitations is the only mechanism available in Puerto Rico to protect its citizens from acid rain and sulfur dioxide emissions because PREPA is exempted to comply with the tittle IV program provisions

WHEREAS, PREPA has made significant modifications and capital investments and no longer qualifies to be exempted to comply with the New Source Performance Standards,

WHEREAS, Puerto Rico must be treated as a state,

Be it resolved that EPA should take the following actions,

1. To request the Puerto Rico Commonwealth State to revise its State Implementation Plan in order to establish the .1lbs/BMTU Federal emission limitation of particulate, and the appropriate sulfur dioxide emission limitation for the entire island including the non attainment area,

2. To request PREPA to establish a continuous SOx emission monitoring mechanism

3. To request PREPA to fire a residual oil with a sulfur content no higher than .5 percent in all of its plants.

A-2 RESOLUTION ON “CREDIBLE DETERRENCE” CIVIL PENALTIES: CAPTURING THE ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE

Whereas, “Capturing the Economic Benefit” means that when a penalty is assessed against an environmental violator, a significant part of the assessment is calculating the costs avoided as a result of non-compliance, plus the interest earned on money as a result of delayed compliance; and

Whereas, Examples of economic benefit from noncompliance include delayed and avoided pollution control expenses, delayed and avoided installation, operation, and maintenance costs of pollution control equipment, and delayed and avoided costs of one-time acquisitions needed for compliance; and

Whereas, under U.S. EPA Policy and many federal environmental laws and regulations, one of the major considerations in calculation of any proposed penalty assigned to a violator is the question of what the economic benefit was to the violator; and

Whereas, the underlying policy consideration is that the penalty burden must be at least as great as the benefit of the violation or there would be no reason to comply; and

Whereas, the EPA Strategic Plan, Goal 9, calls for the Agency to provide a “credible deterrent to pollution and greater compliance with the law”;

We hereby resolve that:

� EPA Penalty Policy which requires that penalties should include the component of economic benefit should be complied with at the national, regional, and state level.

� Technical assistance in calculating the economic benefit (EBN calculation training) should be provided to all enforcement authorities who assert that they can’t do it because they don’t know how.

� A model penalty policy that includes providing for the calculation of economic benefit should be made available to all enforcement authorities who assert that they can’t do it because they don’t have such a penalty policy.

� Any enforcement authority asserting that their laws prevent them from calculating the economic benefit should be required to provide an Attorney General’s (or the equivalent) certification to that effect.

� EPA Regional Officials should consider taking independent enforcement actions against facilities in cases where state assessed penalties do not recover substantial economic benefits of noncompliance.

� A requirement of capturing the economic benefit should be incorporated as part of the Memoranda of Agreement with the Regions, or EPA’s Performance Partnership Agreements with the delegated agencies, or through any other delegation agreements.

� To establish credible deterrence it should be made clear that agencies are delegated legal authority to establish general pollution control requirements consistent with federal statutory mandates and EPA policies and that as to capturing the economic benefit, they will not be allowed to sink below the minimum.

RESOLUTION ON EPA TO AMEND ITS ECONOMIC INCENTIVE PROGRAM (EIP) REGULATIONS TO INCLUDE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CONSIDERATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

WHEREAS, the EPA is advocating both environmental justice as a means to reduce pollution in communities of color and pollution trading as a cost-effective method to reduce pollution.

WHEREAS, the EPA has adopted Economic Incentive Program (EIP) regulations which establish approvability requirements for pollution trading programs.

A-3 WHEREAS, the EIP regulations currently do not include safeguards sufficient to prevent adverse environmental justice impacts, including the creation of toxic hot spots in communities of color.

WHEREAS, the Assistant Administrator of the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) has met with the NEJAC Enforcement Subcommittee to discuss environmental justice concerns related to emissions trading, and appeared generally receptive to the concerns raised by the NEJAC.

WHEREAS, the NEJAC recognizes the willingness of EPA OAR to continue to have a dialogue with the NEJAC until these issues are resolved.

WHEREAS, certain pollution trading programs have the potential to create, perpetuate or exacerbate air pollution toxic hot spots in communities of color by allowing facilities in those communities to increase or continue emissions.

WHEREAS, certain pollution trading programs allow facilities to increase or continue emissions of highly toxic chemicals, due to offsets obtained from decreases in less toxic chemical emissions, thereby resulting in a net increase in airborne toxicity.

WHEREAS, since stationary source polluters are often disproportionately located in communities of color, while mobile source pollution is widely distributed geographically, mobile to stationary source pollution trading has the potential to create or exacerbate toxic hot sports.

WHEREAS, pollution trading programs require accurate quantification of emissions reduced and increased through the program, and such quantification is particularly difficult in the case of mobile source trading programs.

WHEREAS, pollution credits should only be granted for emission reductions that are real, surplus, and quanitifiable, and pollution credits should therefore not be granted for emission reductions that would have resulted even in the absence of the pollution trading program.

WHEREAS, economic modeling tools exist that allow agencies to predict the probable geographic and demographic impact of pollution trading programs, including the location of probable pollution credit purchasers and sellers.

WHEREAS, a fundamental principle of the environmental justice movement is that communities affected by pollution must be allowed to participate in decisions affecting their environment.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT NEJAC urges EPA to Amend the EIP Regulations to:

� Prohibit the trading of toxic air pollutants, as defined in the Emergency Planning and Community Right- to-Know Act if the result would be adverse health or environmental impact(s) in an environmental justice community, and unless EPA requires the states to develop adequate quantification protocols that must be reviewed and approved by EPA into an enforceable state implementation plan (SIP) prior to trading plan implementation to ensure accurate quantification of pollutants to be traded and to ensure enforceability and verifiability.

� If trading of toxic chemicals is allowed, prohibit emissions trading that will result in an increase in toxic chemical pollution in already overburdened communities, taking into account cumulative pollution risks. If trading of toxic chemicals is allowed, require implementing agency to consider selective toxicity of specific chemicals being traded, and to prohibit trading that will expose the public to unacceptable risk.

� Prior to approval of any pollution trading program, require the agency proposing the program to conduct an economic analysis similar comparable to the model prepared by the Regional Economic Modeling, Inc. (REMI) to determine the location of probable emission credit purchasers and sellers. Require the agency to overlay the REMI analysis with demographic information to determine whether the proposed trading program will have an adverse impact on communities of color. Prohibit emissions trading programs that are predicted to have an adverse impact on communities of color.

A-4 � Require that at a minimum, all facilities must install technology-based controls defined as reasonably available control technology (RACT) under the Clean Air Act, and prohibit trading that allows companies to avoid installing RACT.

� Require all emissions trading programs to incorporate public participation components that include notification to affected communities of any trade that will result in an increase or continuation of toxic chemical pollution, and allow the affected communities a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon said adverse impacts. Require the responsible agency to retain discretion to revise or reject the proposed pollution trade based upon comments received.

� Prohibit mobile-to-stationary source trading where the result would be adverse health or environmental impact(s) in an environmental justice community, and unless EPA requires the states to develop adequate quantification protocols that must be reviewed and approved by EPA into an enforceable state implementation plan (SIP) prior to trading plan implementation to ensure accurate quantification of pollutants to be traded and to ensure enforceability and verifiability.

� EPA should retain requirements in found in the emissions trading policy statement regulation requiring a portion of the economic benefit resulting from pollution trading to benefit the public through increased emission reductions.

RESOLUTION ON EPA TO ADOPT A NATIONAL POLICY PROHIBITING FEDERAL RECOGNITION OF STATE-ISSUED VARIANCES

WHEREAS, the Region IX of the EPA is considering whether to grant federal recognition of state-issued variances from Title V permit requirements, and has proposed to recognize such variances in cases of malfunction, start-up, shut-down, and maintenance;

WHEREAS, the federal recognition of these variances would preclude both federal and community enforcement of the federal Clean Air Act where violations have been documented, and thus provide a disincentive to compliance with Clean Air Act requirements;

WHEREAS, since stationary source polluters are disproportionately located in communities of color, issuance of variances to stationary sources will result in a disproportionate impact on these communities;

WHEREAS, the issuance of variances can result in increased impacts to public health from emissions of air toxics at levels above permit requirements and above those levels which have been analyzed for their impact to public health;

WHEREAS, the issuance of variances could impede reasonable further progress on attainment of federal air quality standards;

WHEREAS, Clean Air Act case law only allows for permit modifications after amendment to the appropriate State Implementation Plan;

WHEREAS, EPA enforcement policy takes into consideration problems such as malfunction, start-up, and shutdown procedures as mitigating factors to penalties assessed for violations;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

NEJAC urges EPA to adopt a national policy which:

� Prohibits federal recognition of variances from Clean Air Act requirements, except for variances resulting in more stringent levels of control at the facility;

� Acknowledges that existing federal enforcement policies consider the nature of a violation and factors such as malfunction, start-up, shut-down, and maintenance as mitigating factors in determining the appropriate federal enforcement response.

A-5 � Requires consultation with NEJAC before consideration or approving any variance policy, by EPA or any of its regions.

RESOLUTION TO URGE EPA TO REQUEST THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 12898 AND THAT THEY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES RAISING TRANSBOUNDARY AND INTERNATIONAL ISSUES

WHEREAS, Presidential Executive Order 12898, entitled "Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations," directs that "each Federal agency shall make achieving environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations in the United States and its territories and possessions, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of Mariana Islands;" and

WHEREAS, some international border areas, including areas of the U.S./Mexico border, are heavily populated on both sides of the border; and

WHEREAS, victims of disproportionate pollution impacts and environmental injustice resulting from international trade and commerce along the border area include American citizen people of color, poor people, Indigenous Peoples as well as other residents of the United States; and

WHEREAS, public comments and discussions at a recent "Roundtable on Environmental Justice Issues on the U.S./Mexico Border" (Border Roundtable), sponsored by the NEJAC International Subcommittee and EPA in San Diego, California (April 19-21), have made clear that there are significant pollution and other environmental issues affecting low-income, minority, and indigenous populations along the U.S./Mexico border area; and

WHEREAS, the political disenfranchisement of and environmental burdens on low-income, minority, and indigenous populations residing in border areas, such as the U.S./Mexico border region, are exacerbated by the lack of political and legal accountability of polluting facilities located outside of the United States; and

WHEREAS, Executive Order 12898 does not specifically mention the State Department and the U.S. Trade Representative's Office as Federal agencies within the scope of the Executive Order; and,

WHEREAS, some of the potential impacts of programs, policies, and activities of the State Department and the U.S. Trade Representative's Office clearly fall within the scope of the activities that Executive Order 12898 was intended and designed to address; and

A-7 WHEREAS, Executive order 13141 entitled Environmental Review of Trade Agreements, specifically calls for careful assessment and consideration of the environmental impacts of trade agreements such as those disproportionate impacts contemplated by Executive Order 12898; and,

WHEREAS, Executive Order 13141 requires environmental reviews and public comment on the environmental impacts of trade agreements in the United States, and where appropriate and prudent, on global and transboundary impacts; and,

WHEREAS, the NEJAC believes that it is imperative for all agencies whose programs, policies, and activities with a potential impact on low-income, minority, and indigenous populations engage in discussions about and substantively work on efforts to achieve the President's expressed goal of promoting environmental justice for such populations; and

WHEREAS, the State Department and the U.S. Trade Representative's Office can incorporate environmental justice concerns into their missions through existing environmental and human rights offices;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

NEJAC urges the EPA Administrator to:

� Request that the Secretary of State and the United States Trade Representative comply with and further the provisions of and policies expressed in Executive Order 12898 and Executive Order 13141; and

� Request participation, in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12898, by the Secretary of State and the United States Trade Representative in the Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice; and � Request the Secretary of State and the United States Trade Representative to prepare an Environmental Justice Strategy, in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12898; and

� Seek designation by the President, in accordance with Sections 1-102 and 6-604 of Executive Order 12898, of the State Department and the United States Trade Representative's Office as agencies participating in the Interagency Working Group under Executive Order 12898 and covered by its provisions; and

� Develop, in cooperation with the Secretary of State, the United States Trade Representative, and the Council for Environmental Quality, criteria and methodologies for considering the transboundary environmental impacts on racial minority, low-income, and indigenous populations in the areas covered by Executive Order 12898 by the international activities of Federal agencies, including negotiation of international trade and other agreements.

� Request assistance from the Secretary of State in resolving concerns, such as the ones raised by various community organizations at the "Roundtable on Environmental Justice on the U.S./Mexico Border" (August 19-21, 1999, San Diego, California), concerning environmental degradation and pollution at the border as well as transboundary impacts of pollution.

RESOLUTION TO ADDRESS COMMUNITIES AT RISK FROM THE ATLANTIC CITY/ BRIGANTINE CONNECTOR TUNNEL PROJECT, ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY

WHEREAS, South Jersey Transportation Authority, in conjunction with the New Jersey Department of Transportation is constructing the Atlantic City/Brigantine Connector Tunnel.

WHEREAS, the Atlantic City Tunnel, will bisect the Atlantic City communities of the First Ward, Second Ward, Third Ward, Fourth Ward, and Venice Park area of Atlantic City, all of which consists of predominantly African-American residents.

WHEREAS, the Atlantic City Tunnel route has resulted in the relocation and displacement of homeowners that resided on the selected route.

A-8 WHEREAS, the Atlantic City Tunnel route traverses within 25 feet of the remaining residents.

WHEREAS, soils that will be excavated for the construction of the Atlantic City Tunnel are contaminated with heavy metals, petroleum-related compounds, and other organic and inorganic substances at levels in excess of health-based standards established by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and 152,000 cubic yards of these soils will be reuse on site.

WHEREAS, the South Jersey Transportation Authority has rejected the request of community residents for controls ensure that contaminants in the soils do not migrate to the adjacent communities, such as air monitoring – on-site and off-site – of the contaminants found in the soils, continuous engineering controls, and covering of the soils.

WHEREAS, excavation of has continued for 9 months and community residents have begun to complain of respiratory difficulties since the beginning of construction – including the triggering of dormant asthma.

WHEREAS, analysis performed by South Jersey Transportation Authority and the New Jersey Department of Transportation acknowledge the possibility that there could be hot spots of carbon monoxide, particulates and sulfur dioxide in areas adjacent to the tunnel.

WHEREAS, the South Jersey Transportation Authority and the New Jersey Department of Transportation have rejected the request of community residents to install air control devices to address the emissions from vehicles using the tunnel and air monitoring of the emissions for a short time period after the tunnel is constructed to ensure local air quality does not create risk to the adjacent communities.

WHEREAS, South Jersey Transportation Authority has failed to address numerous other issues identified by community residents, including the potential for flooding, safety, and structural damage to homes.

WHEREAS, the Atlantic City Tunnel is funded by the State of New Jersey, administered by one of its agencies, and is to serve a casino that is supported by and would directly benefit the City of Atlantic City and the State of New Jersey.

WHEREAS, the unresponsiveness by all state agencies requires the intervention by the USEPA to prevent irreversible damage to health of community residents and the local communities.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council calls upon USEPA to IMMEDIATELY, through its Region II Offices, facilitate the convening of all parties, including the South Jersey Transportation Authority, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and the New Jersey Department of Transportation, to address the immediate issues of exposure of community residents to contaminated soil during construction activities, and other issues of potential impact to the community residents after construction, such as flooding, and safety.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council calls upon USEPA, in consultation with the US Department of Transportation, to convene a meeting of NJ Department of Transportation and South Jersey Transportation Authority, to address the long term air quality issues associated with tunnel.
